Does "Huge Power" translate to a pun about rabbits in Japanese?

Well it's ちからもち (chikaramochi) which literally translates as "buff (person), muscleman" (力持ち) but also ends with もち(餅) which is those rice cakes, and according to the legends about moon rabbits, they're making mochi there

I don't get this "Azumarill is ridiculously strong" meme too. It's something that they made up in Generation III. It clearly wasn't part of this Pokemon's original design and no Pokedex entries mention it, even in modern games (its gimmicks are highly sensitive ears and fast swimming).
Diggersby at least does look buff and is mentioned to be physically very strong. But why another rabbit is beyond me.

Farfetch'd as fuck.

I've heard that before, used as a justification for Mega Mawile getting huge power

yeah but the only rabbit-like feature it has are its two pairs of jaws which may look like a rabbit's ears if you're autistic enough, i feel like it's kind of a stretch

Is this the Bunday thread?

It's because futakuchi-onna were often depicted eating rice dumplings, which are filled with the same type of rice used to make mochi.

It's not a gimmick, it's a pun. A joke.

>>53476115
Don't be stupid, the ludicrous idea of Azumarill being super-strong is what makes it so funny. It's the same reason everyone loved the fact that Pachirisu was used to win a tournament.

Maybe. But it's not explored at all in canon. Everytime Azumarill appears in a story, it's depicted as a cutemon with extraordinarily good hearing. Its supposed physical strength is nothing but a game mechanic.

Mawile gets Huge Power because it has TWO giant mouths now instead of one. Double mouths, double the attack stat with Huge Power

>Could've been Physical Clefable
>Could've been Defense Blissey
>Ends up as Frail Mixed Attacker
>Slower than a Fat Fairy even though Wigglytuff can fly too, but the Fat Fairy is an Ayy Lmao so it can be overlooked, also slower than a Fat Freaking Egg which is very unfortunate for the Literally Fat Balloon Rabbit who can float
>Gets completely mogged by Prehistoric Grandmother
Just remove Frisk and give her Huge Power, also boost her Speed while at it...

It's obvious that a hard-working ant wants to rest for a bit :).
